Use of elastic stability analysis to explain the stress-dependent nature of soil strength [PDF]
The peak and critical state strengths of sands are linearly related to the stress level, just as the frictional resistance to sliding along an interface is related to the normal force. The analogy with frictional sliding has led to the use of a ‘friction

Coal bursts are one of the formidable hazards in underground coal mines, yet it is still not fully explored due to the complex stress environment that exists during mining.

Constitutive modeling of steel-polypropylene hybrid fiber reinforced concrete using a non-associated plasticity and its numerical implementation [PDF]
This paper presents a non-associated plasticity-based constitutive model for hybrid steel–polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) materials in an attempt to characterize the stress–strain responses under multiaxial loading scenarios. Together with

New method for true-triaxial rock testing [PDF]
Two new and related true-triaxial apparatus are described that make use of conventional triaxial pressure vessels in combination with specially configured, high-pressure hydraulic jacks inside these vessels. The development combines advantages not found in existing facilities, including a compact design, pore-pressure and flow-through capabilities, the

Strength and deformation properties of frozen sand under a true triaxial stress condition
In recent years, the mechanical properties of frozen soils under complex stress states have attracted significant attention; however, limited by the test apparatus, true triaxial tests on frozen soils have rarely been conducted. To study the strength and

An MCMC Fitting Method for Triaxial Dark Matter Haloes [PDF]
Measuring the 3D distribution of mass on galaxy cluster scales is a crucial test of the LCDM model, providing constraints on the behaviour of dark matter. Recent work investigating mass distributions of individual galaxy clusters (e.g.

True triaxial tests on transversely isotropic unsaturated loess
In order to study the mechanical properties of transversely isotropic unsaturated remolded loess under complex stress paths, two groups of 15 tests are carried out using the true triaxial apparatus.

Railway ballast anisotropy testing via true triaxial apparatus [PDF]
This paper aims to demonstrate the anisotropic behaviour of railway ballast via true-triaxial tests. To do so, a novel, large-scale, true-triaxial testing apparatus (GeoTT) is designed and constructed. It consists of six hydraulic actuators, designed to apply a distributed stress to large granular cubic test specimens with dimensions: 500 mm × 500 m ...
